Intersection Numbers on the Moduli Spaces of Stable Maps in Genus 0

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Let VV be a smooth, projective, convex variety. We define tautological ψ\psi and κ\kappa classes on the moduli space of stable maps \M0,n(V)\M_{0,n}(V), give a (graphical) presentation for these classes in terms of boundary strata, derive differential equations for the generating functions of the Gromov-Witten invariants of VV twisted by these tautological classes, and prove that these intersection numbers are completely determined by the Gromov-Witten invariants of VV. This results in families of Frobenius manifold structures on the cohomology ring of VV which includes the quantum cohomology as a special case.
